As the 2023 general election approaches, Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike on Friday said when a government embarks on projects, it is vote-buying.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Governor Wike spoke at the official Commissioning of the dualised Bori-Kono super highway.
“With what we have done, the people will vote for our persons. That’s why I told Nigerians if there is anything called buying of votes, the only legal way to allow for buying of votes is to deliver projects,” Wike said.

This newspaper reports that the Dualised Bori-Kono Road was facilitated by the Wike administration “towards fulfilling his Campaign promises to the Ogoni people for their massive support to his administration”.
The government said the highway is expected to provide easy access to the agrarian community of Kono and other communities in Khana and Andoni Local Government Areas (LGAs) in conveying their agricultural and marine produce to various markets.
